Joanne Woodward's Oscar DIY.

Did you know that actress Joanne Woodward 

made her own dress for the 1957 Oscars!?

{ Joanne Woodward with her husband Paul Newman & of course her Oscar statue }

Mmmm hmmm- true story! 

She paid a little over $100 for the materials & handmade it in her barn.
(Yes the photo is B&W,  but the dress was green)

& do you want to know the best part? 

She won the Best Actress Oscar for The Three Faces of Eve that very year...

What a bonus! 

Will you be watching the Oscars this weekend?
